Those two books are long gone.
 

As of this morning, our first day of the cruise, there were three books in English left in the library.  
 

Yesterday (boarding day) I saw people with tote bags taking six and eight and 10 books at a time. We can only hope that they will read them quickly and return them

So rude to take more than one book at a time!

 

Bringing books to donate on my Nov. 2 Reflection cruise.  Think I’ll wait a couple days to bring them to the library.

I need to do a zoom meeting one night on the cruise. Do you think if I upgrade I will be able to do it

Does Reflection have pickleball, yet (as of 10/24/2023)?  Nine other Celebrity ships were publicized as having it last spring, but not Reflection.  Thank you!

My husband and I are boarding our first Celebrity cruise this Sunday 12/3. We have a non-celebrity excursion booked for Cayman on 12/5 that we need to leave the ship ASAP for, but I just noticed on the app that it mentioned Tender Ticket Distribution at 7:00. Although we have been to Cayman on previous cruises with RCI, we've never needed to get off early or use any sort of ticket...can someone explain how this works? Do we both have to be there to get out tickets, or can just one of us go and get 2? Do we need to plan on having everything with us when we get out ticket, or do we get a ticket and then have time to go grab quick breakfast? Any clarification or tips you can provide would be great. Thanks so much!

One person can get tickets for both of you.  There will undoubtedly be time for breakfast after you pick up the ticket and before your number is called. I wouldn’t count on being able to get off the ship ASAP because first the people who have celebrity excursions will get the earliest tenders. Then they will start calling tender numbers.

When collecting tickets I thought the  instruction from the ship is only to collect the tickets when all of your group is ready to disembark otherwise you are simply delaying other passengers. If everyone followed your advice the first few tenders would/could be empty.

If you are Diamond on Royal you will be Elite on Celebrity which gives you priority tendering. When you are ready go to the designated point ( will be detailed on board) and you will be escorted from the ship.

The first tenders will be filled with those on Celebrity shore excursions.

I meant the first tenders for ticket holders. Your advice is still contrary to that provided by X. As  Elite we have always been slotted onto the first few tenders.

By the way, with so many back to back guests, there will apparently not be a back to back lunch tomorrow in the dining room.  At least there was no mention of one at the consecutive cruisers meeting or in any of the paperwork they gave us regarding the turnaround day..

On our recent B2B cruise there were less than 100  passengers.  I would say about 60 max.    Someone asked at the meeting about the consecutive cruise lunch in the dining room.   The answer was they no longer do that for consecutive cruisers.  
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
